Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.90a Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I found that post install of multipath-tools if an initrd image is updated, the kernel goes unbootable. On looking at the failure, it shows that the root device was held busy when in initrd's /init it tries to mount the device to /root The workaround was to remove multipath-tools and regenerate the initrd image. IIRC this bug was related to kpartx. I had seen this issue on my laptop and with the workaround have been able to avoid this bug. -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=UUID=5857aa08-5dc3-4b46-b286-76bb2e291468 ro selinux=0 -- /proc/filesystems ext3 fuseblk ext2 reiserfs vfat -- lsmod Module Size Used by nf_conntrack_ipv4 19596 1 xt_state 4288 1 nf_conntrack 62280 2 nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_state nfnetlink 7576 2 nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack iptable_filter 4800 1 ip_tables 14212 1 iptable_filter x_tables 16196 2 xt_state,ip_tables michael_mic 4352 6 arc4 3840 6 ecb 5376 6 blkcipher 8068 1 ecb cryptomgr 5312 0 ieee80211_crypt_tkip 12032 3 af_packet 24968 4 nls_iso8859_1 5952 1 nls_cp437 7616 1 vfat 13888 1 fat 50460 1 vfat nls_base 9024 4 nls_iso8859_1,nls_cp437,vfat,fat reiserfs 222272 2 ext2 63816 1 usb_storage 78528 5 appletalk 37344 2 ax25 53648 2 ipx 29732 2 p8023 3904 1 ipx nvidia 7252212 26 binfmt_misc 12936 1 cpufreq_ondemand 9740 1 cpufreq_userspace 6464 0 cpufreq_powersave 3648 0 acpi_cpufreq 11080 1 freq_table 6464 2 cpufreq_ondemand,acpi_cpufreq rfcomm 39832 6 l2cap 26048 5 rfcomm capability 6728 0 commoncap 8832 1 capability ppdev 10500 0 parport_pc 35940 0 lp 12836 0 parport 35848 3 ppdev,parport_pc,lp button 9808 0 ac 7044 0 battery 11908 0 ipv6 265988 14 snd_atiixp_modem 17288 0 snd_via82xx_modem 16392 0 snd_intel8x0m 18508 0 snd_ac97_codec 94692 3 snd_atiixp_modem,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_intel8x0m ac97_bus 4096 1 snd_ac97_codec slamr 375236 0 ungrab_winmodem 4224 0 fuse 43732 5 dm_snapshot 18340 0 dm_mirror 22848 0 dm_mod 53952 2 dm_snapshot,dm_mirror kvm_intel 20556 0 kvm 59120 1 kvm_intel sbp2 23944 0 loop 18756 0 snd_usb_audio 77056 1 snd_usb_lib 17216 1 snd_usb_audio snd_seq_dummy 5572 0 snd_seq_oss 31232 0 joydev 11392 0 snd_seq_midi 10112 0 snd_seq_midi_event 8704 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_hda_intel 241112 2 snd_seq 48176 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_pcm_oss 41216 0 snd_mixer_oss 17280 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 74116 7 snd_atiixp_modem,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss ipw3945 195108 1 snd_timer 22916 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_rawmidi 24640 2 snd_usb_lib,snd_seq_midi snd_seq_device 9548 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi ieee80211 33416 1 ipw3945 snd_hwdep 10628 1 snd_usb_audio iTCO_wdt 12452 0 iTCO_vendor_support 5636 1 iTCO_wdt pcspkr 4928 0 hci_usb 18076 6 usbhid 28640 0 i2c_i801 10512 0 psmouse 38416 0 sdhci 18508 0 rtc 14680 0 ieee80211_crypt 7616 2 ieee80211_crypt_tkip,ieee80211 bluetooth 53092 15 rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb uvcvideo 33544 0 hid 27072 1 usbhid i2c_core 25408 2 nvidia,i2c_i801 snd 50948 21 snd_atiixp_modem,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_usb_audio,snd_seq_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_hwdep serio_raw 8516 0 snd_page_alloc 11464 5 snd_atiixp_modem,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_intel8x0m,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm soundcore 9376 1 snd mmc_core 28036 1 sdhci rng_core 6724 0 videodev 28480 1 uvcvideo v4l1_compat 14404 2 uvcvideo,videodev v4l2_common 18432 2 uvcvideo,videodev firmware_class 11328 1 ipw3945 intel_agp 25108 0 agpgart 33800 2 nvidia,intel_agp evdev 11136 7 tsdev 9792 0 ext3 123080 2 jbd 57064 1 ext3 mbcache 10116 2 ext2,ext3 sg 34844 0 sr_mod 18468 0 cdrom 34720 1 sr_mod sd_mod 28992 10 ata_piix 15236 3 ohci1394 34544 0 ieee1394 89528 2 sbp2,ohci1394 ata_generic 9412 0 libata 117680 2 ata_piix,ata_generic scsi_mod 138572 6 usb_storage,sbp2,sg,sr_mod,sd_mod,libata ehci_hcd 33420 0 firewire_ohci 18304 0 firewire_core 40768 1 firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 3968 1 firewire_core generic 6660 0 [permanent] ide_core 119300 2 usb_storage,generic b44 27660 0 mii 7104 1 b44 uhci_hcd 24848 0 usbcore 127240 9 usb_storage,snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,hci_usb,usbhid,uvcvideo,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd thermal 15240 0 processor 33128 2 acpi_cpufreq,thermal fan 6660 0 unix 29840 779 -- /etc/kernel-img.conf #
